The impact of provision of clean water and sanitation facilites can
be enormous.

The number of HIV cases in Indonesia has been rising rapidly, increasing
the need for antiretroviral treatment (ART). However, the public
health expenditure on HIV/AIDS is relatively low; ART in West Java is
undersupplied and has limited funding, resulting in only less than 50%
of those eligible actually receive the treatment. New strategies are
urgently required to increase the uptake of ART within the limited
resource setting. The questions are how and where?

To tackle the low participation of students from poor households in
higher education, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and the private
sectors introduced Bidik Misi program in 2010, which provides
opportunities for poor students to gain access to public universities.
However, despite Bidik Misi being a good incentive for poor students to
perform well at high school, most of them fail to meet the minimum
academic requirement because students from high socioeconomic status
background outperform those from poor family backgrounds, both at high
school as well as in public university entrance examination.

World leaders are now racing against time to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target by 2015. The MDG are a set of targets officially established following the Millennium Summit of the United Nations in 2000.
